I have made visualizations viewed by hundreds of thousands of people, sped up query times for 25 terabytes of data by an average of 4,800 times, and built packages for R that let you do magic.
Currently searching for a data science position that allows me to build tools using visualization and machine learning to help people explore and understand their data.
